Bro, just use a minimalist launcher and only keep non-addictive apps in the launcher. A good set up that I have used would be time, date, phone, texts, browser, mail, music, navigation, notepad, and camera. Each label just opens their respective apps. There are no logos, just words for each app. Use a non-distracting wallpaper for the home screen and lock screen. If it does not suffice inhibiting the addiction, then uninstall whatever your addicting app is. For me, doing this is sufficient. I leave the addicting apps installed and just open it extremely rarely with time limits put on each addicting app. The best part is that it requires no money to be spent.

[@ab-gail]

Good advice.

[@cppctek]

Ooo I can’t wait to see your feelings and mental state after a month. Can you log your moods and thoughts on paper or something every day ? I have a theory about anxiety. Would love to see your rating daily on a scale of 1-10 on experience of anxiety either from being disconnected or something else. Also I have a theory about your mental clarity and energy levels being better day by day. The anxiety chart may trend up the first few days and trend down the longer you go and maybe spike up a bit at the end when your itching to get off the dumb phone. I’d loveeeeeee to see that data

[@nora-bee]

As someone who used dumb phones exclusively for 6 months, your theory sounds very accurate to my experience. I didn't understand just how tethered to my smartphone I was until I got nervous walking to the shop halfway down the street with a flip phone in my pocket. Huge wake-up call for me. After a few weeks I grew to love how long and boring my days were. Though I no longer use a traditional T9 dumb phone, I use a Jelly Star now which gives me the conveniences of a smartphone (like banking, QR, government digital documents) without the massive all consuming screen to go with it. The lessons learned from that time have been invaluable to me, and one day I hope to go back 😊
